I need a cheap GPS that is weatherproof just to use go a speedometer. Something simple and easy to use. Don’t care if it talks or not, couldn’t hear it anyway. Be nice to have a trip meter on it. Any suggestions?

Go on E-Bay. There are some magnetic driven speedos on there that do what you need. I used one on a VW trike with the magnet on the front rotor.
Just go to any electronics store, Best Buy..Target, Wally World.. buy as cheap a gps that you want..
.then go to Ram Mounts.com and buy a mount for it for $29.95
Mount it.
If the weather looks bad, cover it with a sandwich bag..you can still see it fine and it is protected from rain.
That is what I do..Works perfectly fine. I did buy a more expensive GPS though.
If you can find an older streetpilot (2610, 2720 etc.) gps it will do everything you want and is waterproof. I have seen good 2610s for sell for under fifty dollars. I have owned a 2610 for several yrs. and it still works great.
Another possible solution for you is a bicycle computer. I had one mounted on the last two 1500s I owned. It will have the speedometer and trip meter on it and can be bought really reasonable. Be sure to get one that is good for high speed rates.
